Supported RN and EN Program CALHN


 


Supported RN and EN Program Applications – now open for 2024 intakes


The Supported RN & Supported EN Program are 6-month programs for newly registered or enrolled nursing staff and aim to provide access to additional clinical support and education to facilitate the transition from novice to advanced beginner. The Supported RN & Supported EN Programs are closely aligned to the RN Transition to Professional Practice Program.

There will be intakes into the program in 2024 between March and September with pre-allocated dates for each Professional Development Day.


NUMs/NMs/NEs - If any newly registered or enrolled nurses in your area may benefit from this program, please review information provided on the Early Career Transition Programs SharePoint page to ensure they meet the eligibility criteria and they can be supported to complete program requirements prior to completing the application form.


New Nurses – Further information regarding the Supported RN and EN Program can be found here: . If you think this program is relevant and appropriate to support your transition to professional practice, please discuss with your NUM. To enrol in the Supported RN and EN Program, your NUM will need to complete the application form on your behalf. You will be informed of a successful application.

A self-directed transition program may also be an option. Please read the information below regarding the self-directed approach made available by the Nursing and Midwifery Office.

 

Self-directed Program – For new nurses not participating in an Early Career Transition Program, the SA Health Nursing and Midwifery Office Transition Programs provide a complementary learning pathway with potential for a self- directed approach, for growing the professional and workplace capability of nurses and midwives. The e-learning modules, developed as part of the TPPP, contribute to core learning experiences for participants in the ‘Self-directed Program’. The e-learning modules contain the core information required to support the transition of the individual nurse and midwife into professional practice as capable and confident clinicians.
